    OK I was confused in my earlier post and realized it as I hit the submit key.

    I want low pressure because the barrels are in extremely good visual condition. Kinda make me wonder if they have been honed. And if so by whom? This the real reason for desiring the low pressure.

    I have a fairly good supply of Clays, Clay Dot and Universal. I acquired these before the recent shortages and keep replacing as the opportunity arises.

    I prefer Winchester AA's with Cheddite or Winchester primers.

    This Specialty does NOT have twist or Damascus barrels and is "hammerless".

    I have reloaded 53,000+ shotshells in the past 12 years so I am not a newbie in this area (as I read that, I wondered why I am not a better shot because that does not include factory shells). These have been mostly 12 gauge with some 16's, 20's, 28's and my favorite the .410 bore.

    What I don't have is a recipe for low pressure 12 gauge. I have gone to the major powder websites but did not find what I wanted.
